Compared with zinc-carbon batteries, such as Vinnic or Player brands of the zinc chloride types, all zinc chemistries produce approximately 1.5 volts per cell; alkaline batteries have a higher energy density and longer shelf-life. Alkaline cells comparative to silver oxide and lithium have lower energy density and shorter lifetimes but at a lower cost.

Alkaline batteries account for 80% of manufactured batteries in the US and over 10 billion individual units produced worldwide.
